adjusting body to frame

we thought the axle was off centre on my buddies expedition, but after doing abunch of measurements, we realized that the body sits a 1/2 more to the drivers side,the truck has no accidents on it, it must of been built that way. we first noticed it by the rear tires, we put a straight edge across the rear fender wells. the passenger side the tire almost touched the straight edge and on the drivers side its 1" in, so the body needs to be moved over to the passenger side 1/2" to correct it, is it possible to loosen the body to frame bolts and move the body over, or is it impossible to move a fully assembled body?

Your'e on the right track. Check and/or replace body mounts. Could very easily be your problem.

I don't think the body mounts are bad, the body just needs to be moved over 1/2", does anyone know if this can be done, or how to do it with the body completely assembled, wouldn't mined knowing before we spend hours trying to move it
